somedays all I want to do is turn away
never look again
I see the me I work so hard to hide
insecure, small with deep set eyes
leaving shadows under them
broken, unwilling to do anything about it
stuffed under thin lips and pale skin
other days I see what I want seen
a mask of confidents
covered by a thick layer of blond hair
defensive hummer, cutting sarcasm
radiating from a thin sleek body
never do they collide into the same being
instead they exist almost as if separate entities
that simply happen to share similar fetchers

Very Good
I love the imagery in this piece, it paints such a picture. Lines 10-12 are my favorite, the way you write draws me in.
